You seem to be enlightened by nit- picking and reading between the lines making issues out of non issues. As I said before, it was a federal report citing the correlation between race, poverty and obesity.

Citations from the article:

The report said Mexican-American boys were at the highest risk, with 27 percent overweight followed by black, non-Hispanic girls at 23 percent.

The child obesity issue is a major cause for concern, Alexander said. "This is a trend that's been at work since 1980 ... and as a trend, it shows no sign of reversing," Alexander said.

Child poverty also grew, reaching 11.6 million in 2002, compared with 11.2 million a year earlier.

The report today by the Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics >>

 Federal, as I said, write your congressman.

True it stated stats on race, but where is the info that they are poor and fat? The report made a note to start a new paragraph and say poverty also grew, not: mexican and black kids are fat and poor. As I said before, since you want it to imply something that it does not, you write your congressman.
